    Flat cargo area with tie downs and storage

    Great pics and ideas. I have been looking for a custom auto shop to do something like this for me and they keep saying "tell me exactly what you want". So I need to draw it out for them but I can't draw. Wondering what people are doing if they take out the bottom seats too? Anything...

    Tire advice for a just blown tire replacement

    Coopers So going with the whole 4 tires. Was an easy sell. Next which tires? Called one of the many Firestones around here and they recommended Firestone Destinations LE2 out the door at 645. Looked for rebates as someone on this thread mentioned for Michelin but they seem to have run...

    Tire advice for a just blown tire replacement

    I assume they are OEM although since the guy was a toyota dealer salesperson he could have swapped out pretty easily I would think. Anyway, I think that's why I jumped to having to buy at least 2 if not 4 and didn't even think pluggable because in the back of my head I was wondering when I...

    Tire advice for a just blown tire replacement

    Well I am admittedly a bit ignorant about mechanical things but I think that's sort of horseshit. Or at least it was on older trucks? Maybe now with tighter tolerances its more important. Found this thread which debates it...

    Tire advice for a just blown tire replacement

    Did yours come with the same tire? A Dunlop I think. I just retired and have only put about 3,000 on this myself. That mileage was the previous owner who commuted to work. He actually worked at the Toyota place I bought it, mostly highway miles. I put a new tire on the Blazer this year...

    Tire advice for a just blown tire replacement

    Not having much luck with cars right now:( Blazer has a brake light on and now 5 minutes ago driving home, braking before hitting a turn I hear BRRRTTT BRRTTT BRTTTT then it stops. Get home, go around to the passenger side to see if it was just something on the road - there is some sort...

    Running boards - buy off ebay?

    FYI for posterity. The boards I got do not have the pattern that matches the rear bumper, i.e. the pattern I would assume be on running boards that come with the vehicle. I took the box as it came to a body place that installed them for 39.00. Didn't see them till after they were on because...

    Running boards - buy off ebay?

    Hey that's the color of the used 2015 I got. Whelp, for better or worse I ordered off ebay. I just hope they are the ones with the pattern etc. (like the bumper on the back) like it says. I would have to pay shipping back to california if not. Will check back on install.

    Running boards - buy off ebay?

    Thanks for the responses, I'll try to answer and comment to all of them. Why not sliders or nerf bars. I did a very small amt of googling last night on this to see whether I should be looking into this. First, I'm short and was looking for a step, mostly down as I feel like sliding down off...

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    The place to plug in is there.........I was assuming I needed a electrical wire harness for the plug that will go to the trailer. I don't think uhaul comes with them? I needed one on my blazer. I bought my 20115 used from a dealer. There is no wire harness on it now. Nor in the glove box or...

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    Installing a trailer harness (2015 Trail) I looked underneath and found what seem to be the coverings for the 4 pin and round plug. Should I just take this to my mechanic to deal with completely? Or should I pick my own harness (recommendations?) and take it to him to install? (unless its...

    Posting pictures - is there a how to sticky somewhere?

    The subject says it all. I am using google photo's since I have a google account but when I post the url it just posts the url, not a pic or thumbnail. Will google pictures not work or am I not doing something right?
